We are seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant to work in our FOCUS provision. FOCUS supports students who have considerable emotional, mental health and behavioural needs and so find it impossible to work in the main body of the school. The aim of the provision is to support them to develop the skills and abilities they need to take advantage of the wider opportunities involved in the school and eventually across mainstream provision and society.
We are looking for:
• Qualifications to level 2 in maths and English.
• Experience of working with young people
• A willingness to learn and work as a key member of a small team
• A person with resilience and a good sense of humour
This is an exciting time to join the school where we are committed to professional development for all; it is an opportunity to join our hard working and dedicated team of staff who thrive in an atmosphere of professionalism and team work.
